Step One...

Mater Private took great care of me yesterday, when I had day surgery for my wrist. The cut is apparently about 15cm horizontally and then there are two 5cm vertical cuts on the ends too. 

I went in at 7:30am and left at 5pm... My painkillers work well though not lasting very long.

I have a post op appointment next Saturday, when my bandages get taken off. I then also get to finally see what was done. Unfortunately no peeking till then. I'm able and allowed to wiggle the tips of my fingers for the week and Saturday I get lots of exercises to do as part of my physiotherapy to regain full use of my right hand.

This first stage is completed and I look forward to being able to have the full use of my right hand back. Feel blessed to have three helpers today... And my cowbell is coming in handy, not that I've used it but once :)

Blessings,

Declutter...

I have done more... More of my clothes, mats, bedsheets and towels. Feels great to have it gone...

Can't wait to deliver it to the Op shop :) Looking at the rest of the house again... Still sooooo much 'stuff'... Boys rooms are next I think ;)

Blessings,

Plums, plums and more plums...

Scored 4kg of the lovely things... Got straight to work and ended up with 6 big jars of plum jam!!!

Yummy... Have given some away and others are stored for later ;)

So thankful to beautiful people in my community for their generous hearts and beautiful souls... So blessed...

RIP Ron...

He was our dear Neighbour... He'd collect the egg cartons for us and we'd fill them with our eggs... H'd bless us with a jar of his delectable honey... He welded our trampoline more than once and fixed the tractor. Russell created a spreadsheet for easy recording of shooting competitions made at his gun club... He knew last Birthday, as we sang it to him as a family, that it would be his last...

We're missing him, seeing his ute go up his drive, hearing his Blue Heeler Bronco barking... At least Bronco only lives down the road now. He's settling in with his new family...

It was a lovely turnout for his service. He was loved and treasured, that's for sure... Now his properties are being made ready for selling... I'm going to miss not waving to him as I drive up my driveway... So glad I had the honour of being next door, even if only a handful of years...

Blessings,

This is what you get...

This is what makes up a 12g egg... So little, so cute. Haven't had an egg from Gandalph for a while and her hernia is still there but she's no worse for wear, thank goodness...

This egg went into a soggy cake :)

Blessings,

Calamari!!!

Love my dates with my boys... This time, Josh and I asked for a dozen and scored 14. More to split between us and will pay for the other two when I go back next month :)

Very blessed that both my boys love our date time too :)

Blessed...

Little visitor...

Josh showed this little darling to me after I got home from home church... It was sitting outside one of the kitchen windows... Couldn't resist, had to take a photo or two... ;)

Blessings,
